NHS Track & Trace app

Ciao Bella,

So who's installing it and who's not? I'm interested to see a rough % as BCF represents the best of our great nation.

Stop sniggering.

Nah you're alright thanks

I don't own a smart phone. So no, I won't be installing the app.

I've thought about it, but the NHS never sends me any parcels so I can't see the point.

I'm still using an iPhone 3GS so no idea if it will actually run - even if the phone had enough memory left to install it!

I've already installed it. See the coronavirus thread updated last night just after midnight.

I won't be installing the NHS track-and-trace app.

It' based on the idea that people act "for the greater good", rather than "based on enlightened self-interest". If you have contracted this virus, chances are that you will feel well enough to go about your daily business as normal, even while infectious. If symptoms worsen, ypu will confine yourself to bed anyway. However, if you're otherwise healthy, you'll probably get through it. This means that the purpose of the app would be to protect other people from getting infected. Most likely, people with whom you aren't close and don't really care about. If someone with whom you're close falls ill with symptoms, how will you act? Would you just isolate yourself in order to protect some toilet roll hoarding yob in a supermarket aisle? Or would you instead focus on getting your loved one throygh it, perhaps by doing the shopping for them? So there's the human nature argument - jusr because we're the same species doesn't mean we act as if we're all in it together.

Non-compliance with the app's directions can result in a hefty fine. So there's that disincentive, too.

I'm not happy with the way the testing data has been used thus far, and I think it's likely there's a lack of behavioural insight into how "influential" in socially shaming people internet forums and the like really is. So that's 10 percent of my reasoning and a no from me.

I'll not be contributing to anything that perpetuates the government's current scare tactics.

Maybe when they start counting death's caused by Covid rather than "cases" - (test results including a large number of false positives).

If we had 50,000 cases then so what if the vast majority had no symptoms or only flu-like symptoms?

We shouldn't be crucifying the country for such a small number of deaths.

Nope. The Scottish app has been available since the 10th and I have no plans to install it.
